florida governor rick scott has announced he will expand medicaid under president obama's healthcare law. scott becomes the seventh healthcare governor and the fifth running for re-election in 2014 to accept the expansion. basically you could look at it that just about any blue governor in a state that obama carried seems to be finding a way to compromise on healthcare and that includes scott, even before he was thought of as a candidate in any state, he put his opposition to healthcare and he made it the center of his 2010 campaign. >> so i bet you're wondering, where have i seen that handsome bald guy before, right? it was here, when i was a leading critic of the obama health plan. he asked for it. he thinks more government is all the the answer. >> not surprisingly conservatives land blasted scott's decision. quote, today he came out in the medicaid expansion he vowed to oppose. at every level of government, it is too easy to spend other people's money. when politicians feel they must do to get re-elected instead of doing what's right, they often lose re-election, and if not, they
